Honolulu Tip
by smoox
A taxi took us from the airport straight to our hotel in Waikiki. As I walked down to the beach, this was the first glimpse I got..... ooooooohhhhhh wow!
Waikiki beach is widest near the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel. You can rent sun chairs and umbrellas there, but they are quite expensive.

The hot-spot in town is the main strip in Waikiki. Everyone goes there to meet new and interesting people. Holidays on the strip are the craziest and most awesome thing I have ever seen. All walks of life show up and parade themselves. What a curious bunch of people there are in the world. I never thought I would miss the warm weather-my biggest complaint when we moved to Hawaii was that I wouldn't see snow. Now I hate being cold. I have moved to the midwest and the summers have been mild and cool scince I have been back and I hate it. I want to lie on the beach and get hot and sweaty, only to jump into the crystal clear ocean water.
Get an Aerial View of Paradise
by Hopkid
The flight pattern for arriving flights to Honolulu take a route that skirts the south end of the island giving passengers on the right side of the aircraft a great view (when it's not cloudy) of Diamond Head and Waikiki. It's a nice first glimpse of Hawaii as you arrive. On the depature, flights take off high and also fly south of Waikiki thereby giving passengers on the left side of the plane one last view of paradise. The flight goes along the coast past the Aloha Tower, Waikiki, Diamond Head, Koko Head and Hanauma Bay before heading northeast and over the Pacific. I think the Hawaii Tourism Board must have some kind of "in" with the FAA. ; )
So to recap, when making your seat selections, get window seats as follows:
Arrival: Right side
Departure: Left side Watching the sunset amid pupus, drinks, and live Hawaiian music at the House Without A Key at the Halekulani Hotel.
BLUE SKIES AND BEACHES
by thinking
The beauty of the islands and the aloha spirit of the people. I miss the Asian food, the Honolulu Club, my friends, the ocean, the outrigger canoes, breakfast on the beach, watching for the "green" flash at the Halekulani Hotel.
I also studied for the Hawaiian Bar Exam on the Hilton Hotel's beach everyday in my bathing suit, sunglasses and sitting on a small chair and a mat.
At lunch I would be invited to come in and say how I was doing. There was a band, and they always played Hawaiian songs for me.
I would swim and then go back to studying.
I passed the Hawaiian Bar Exam and recieved a license there in 1984.
I toured all of the South Pacific for three years and loved every minute of it.
